NEW BEETLE RECORDS FOR CO. WATERFORD. 
BY L. H. BONAPARTE -WYSE. 
During a short visit to Waterford last May I spent part 
of my time collecting insects. Among my beetle captures 
I find the following species are apparently new to Co. 
Waterford, and therefore worth recording. They are : — 
Dyschirius aeneus Dej. — Two specimens under a stone on the Tramore 
strand on May 20th. 
Pterostichus oblongo-punctatus F. — I took a specimen crawling on the 
road in Curraglimore demesne on May 24th. 
Philonthus umbratilis Grav. — A specimen in dung on tlie sandhills near 
Tramore on May 20th. 
Aphodius pusillus Herbst. — One or two specimens in horse dung near 
Waterford on May 21st. 
Helodes marginata F. — A few specimens on white-thorn in Curraglimore 
demesne. 
Podabrus alpinus Payk. — A specimen beaten from fir in Curraghmore 
demesne on May 24th. 
Malachius bipustulatus L. — One example on white-thorn in Curraghmore 
demesne. I first took this pretty beetle in the same locality in 
1897, and recorded it in error as M. viridis F. (vide I. N. 
vol. vi., pp. 220-221). 
Pogonochaerus dentatus Fourc. — A specimen on white-thorn in Curragh- 
more demesne on May 24th. 
Crepidodera smaragdina Foud. — A specimen was obtained by sweeping 
rear Waterford on May 21st. It is not included in Messrs. Johnson's 
and Halbert's " List of the Beetles of Ireland " (1902), but I believe 
it has been taken since. 
Erirrhinus scirpi F. — A specimen taken by sweeping near Waterford on 
May 2 1 St. 
Anthonomus ulmi De G. — One specimen near Waterford on May 22nd. 
I am much indebted to Messrs. E. A. Newbury and 
O. E. Janson for kind help in naming some of the above.
